The Difference Between Read Only and Full Access in Clipbook

• Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

The Windows for Workgroups ClipBook Viewer offers the options Full Access and Read Only when a page is shared. This article describes what these mean and when each should be used.

MORE INFORMATION

Although your own shared ClipBook pages are never changed by someone accessing them through their ClipBook viewer, some ClipBook pages contain a reference to the application that created the original page information. These pages can be used to establish a link to that application and receive updates when the information changes. The application that contains the original information and provides updates is called the "server application." The application that receives the updated information is called the "client application."

In addition to receiving information from the server application, some client applications may provide ways to make changes to the original data. If you grant Full Access to a share, you allow the client applications of this type to change your data.

If you grant Read Only access to a share, clients can receive updates but cannot change your information.

NOTE: "Editing the linked object" is not supported for network links and is not affected by the Read Only or Full Access settings.
